Caen Caen OFFICE DE TOURISME NORMANDIE www.tourisme.caen.fr Welcome to Caen Rouen Le Mont el Saint-Mich Standing between land and sea, 2 hours from Paris and 10 minutes from the beach, on the Mont Saint-Michel road, Caen, the capital of Lower Normandy, is a lively and dynamic metropolis that combines an unusually rich heritage and culture with numerous high-quality tourist infrastructures. Paris Caen A ducal city founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, with the passing of time the city has kept the splendour and influence that the Duke and King intended. Abbeys, castles and mansions, universities and other academies are a reminder of how the city has developed over the centuries, including after the terrible bombings of 1944. Caen has risen from its ashes like the phoenix, the symbol of its university, and has also managed to preserve the impressive architectural heritage that was spared during the Second World War.

O ROCK’ND GIRLS 8 Your contacts PAINTBALL Nathalie PETIT, reservation 9 Around 1050, William married Matilda of Flanders, his distant cousin, going against the wishes of the Pope. To obtain the Church’s pardon, at the same time as building the mighty Caen Castle he built two abbeys: the Men’s Abbey and the Ladies’ Abbey. William was crowned King of England in 1066 following his victory over the Anglo-Saxon King Harold at the bloody Battle of Hastings (depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry). He then became William “the Conqueror”. Four years after Matilda, William died in Rouen in 1087. They were both buried in Caen in the abbeys they founded: William at the Men’s Abbey and Matilda at the Ladies’ Abbey.
